Estonian parliamentarians have refused financial assistance to the Estonian Orthodox Church, the Sputnik Near Abroad telegram channel reports. The deputies struck it out of the list of organizations that are entitled to regional investments when discussing the country's budget for the next year, 2023.

Earlier, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Estonia demanded that the head of the Estonian Orthodox Church condemn the statements of Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church about the special operation in Ukraine. Otherwise, the minister threatened to revoke his residence permit.

In addition, the Memory public organization, which opposed the demolition of the T-34 monument in Narva, was also left without support.
